I am the founder and driving force behind Akani Paints, a proudly African-owned paint manufacturing company committed to delivering high-quality, affordable, and sustainable coatings for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. With a passion for innovation and a deep understanding of local markets, I established Akani Paints to not only provide world-class products but also to contribute to job creation, skills development, and economic growth in our communities.

As an entrepreneur, I am motivated by the belief that Africa’s industries can be built by Africans for Africans. Through Akani Paints, I am actively creating opportunities for youth and women in manufacturing, distribution, and sales while ensuring that our products meet global standards of durability and environmental responsibility.

My participation at IATF2025 is about more than showcasing paint products- it is about connecting with partners, distributors, and investors who share the vision of strengthening Africa’s industrial base and expanding locally produced goods into continental and global markets.
